- the improvements may be employed in coni nection with other machines of a similar nature for treating tubular articles that are required to be mounted upon supports during treatment. i

It is evident that the arrangement of the belts for driving the various rollers may be changed without departin from the scope of my invention, as the chief novelty lies in stripping the stockings from the boards, supports or formers.

I claim as my invention.

1. The combination of means for operating upon stockings carried by boards, means for carrying the boards to the operating means, and means for stripping the stockings from the boards.

2. The combination of burners, means for carryin the boards holding the stockings be- 2c tween t e burners and means for stripping the stockings from the boards.

3. The combination of burners, means for carrying the boards holding the stockings between the burners and means for stripping the stockings from the boards on their return movement. l

4. The combination of burners, means for car'ryi the boards holdin the stockings be-- tween the burners, an endless carrier for re turning the boards and means for stripping the stockings from the boards on their return movement.

5. The combination of burners, means for carryin the boards holding the stockings be tween the burners, means for stripping the stockin s from the boards and a receptacle for the oards.

6. In combination with singeing means, of means for carrying the supports holding the articles to be singed through the said singeing means, and means for stripping the said artiice from their supports.

'7. In combination with singeing means, of means for carnying the supports holding the articles to be singed through the said singeing means, means for returning the supports and means for stripping the said articles from their supports on their return movement.

8. in combination with singeing means, of

means for carrying the supports holding the articles to be singed through the said singeing means, a carrier r returning the said-supports and means for stripping the said artielse from their supports on the return movement.

.9. in combination with singeing means, of means for carrying the supports holding the articles to be singed. through the said singeing s, means for stripping the said articles the supports and a receptacle for the "ts. in combination with means for (rest l tubular fabrics from within pen suitable formers, or means for c erases ed through the said treatingmearispzgngt means for stripping the said from;

former ii. In combination with singein means, oi means for carrying the boards ho ding the articles tobe singed, in operative relation to said. singeing means, and means for stripping the sin ed articles from the boards.

' 12. in combination with means for treating tubular articles supported from within upon boards, of means for carryin the boards with the articles thereon throng said treating means, devices for engaging one end of the articles after they have'been treated and arresting the movement thereof, and. means for withdrawing the boards therefrom.

13. in combination with means for treat stockings or similar tubular articles supported from within upon boards, of means for carrying the boards with the articles thereon through said treatin means and means interposed in the pat. of movement of said boards for engaging the articles and stripping them therefrom. I

.14. in combination with'means for singeing stockings or similar articles mounted upon supports, of means for carrying the articles through said singeing means, and means for returning the supports.

15. in combination with means for singeing stockings or similar articles mounted upon supports, of means for stripping the articles from their supports after they have passed through the singeing means.

16. A. machine for singeing stockingsor 'similar articles embodying strippin' means for removing the stockings from' t e supports upon which they were mounted during sin eing o oration.

1?. 5.11 com ination with means for singestockin s or like articles mounted upon sup orts, oi means for carrying the supports wit 1 the articles thereon through said singemeans, means for changing the direction of movement of the supports after they have passed through the singeing means, and means for returning the supports.

18. in combination with means for singe: ing stockings or like articles mounted upon supports, ot means for carrying the supports with the articles thereon through said sin geing means, means for changing the direction of nmvcment of the supports after they have passed through the smgeing means, an means for returning the supports below the level of the singeing means and deliverin them at a point adjacent to the feed end 0 the machine,

19. In combination with means for singeing stockings or like articles mounted upon sup iorts, of means for carrying the supports "wit 1 the articles thereon through said singe neans, means forreturning the supports 7 l and [or delivering them at a point ad acent the feed end of the machine, and means sva'eeo supports for changing the direction of movement thereof, means for returning the supports to a point adjacent to the feed end of the machine, and means for stripping the articles from their supportsv 21. In a finishing machine, in combination with the stripping means, and means for conveyin the stockings in diilerent planes where by the stockings will be engaged by said stripping means, the stockings being mounted on supports so as to be acted upon by said stripping means.

22. A finishing machine embodyin strip ping means, the articles to be treated being mounted on supports so as to be acted on by said means.

23. In a machine for singeing textile products, the combination of a series of rollers whereby the object to be singed while mounted upon a stretching block continuously advanced in position; singein ets in proximity to the path which the lock is thus caused to pursue; and a stri pin device whereby the further motion of the block effects its withdrawal from the textile fabric stretched upon it. v

24. In a machine for singeing textile products, the combination of a series of rollers, the terminal point of which is in proximity to the initial point; whereby the object to be singed, while mounted upon a stretching block, is continuously advanced in osition from the initial point to the termina point; singeing jets in proximity to the path which the block is thus caused to ursue; and a stripping device whereby the 'urther motion of t e block efi'ects its withdrawal fronrthe textile fabric stretched upon it, whereby the stripped block is returned to a point near that where, after again having an article stretched upon it, it is to be fed again to the machine.
